The Piano Podcast with Mario Ajero
Summary: I teach music and play piano. Occasionally someone pays me for it. I'm getting a Ph.D. in Music Education with a concentration in Piano Pedagogy at the University of Oklahoma. I'm also a member of MTNA (Music Teachers National Association). MP3 Audio Podcasts and M4A Enhanced Audio Podcasts are made through GarageBand 3 on my Powerbook G4. Video Podcasts are in Quicktime h.264 and created with a Sony MiniDV Handycam and iMovie. I'm originally from Cherry Hill, NJ. My other degrees are from Temple University in Philadelphia. I was Coordinator of Class Piano for Temple's Music Prep program in addition to teaching at the Haddonfield School of Performing Arts.
